About this map

Bokeelia serves as the primary hub of this maritime landscape, situated at the northern tip of Pine Island where the waters of Charlotte Harbor meet Pine Island Sound. The map reveals a dense network of residential streets such as Bocilla Ln and Judge Bean Rd, reflecting the community's mid-century growth and its orientation toward the surrounding estuaries. Historical interest is anchored by features like Howard Mound, indicating long-standing human presence on the islands.

Waterways and shoals dominate the terrain west of the main settlement, from the Jug Creek Shoal to the complex island chains of Cayo Costa and Useppa Island. The inclusion of Eagle's Landing Airport and the seasonal transit routes like the Pineland - Cayo Costa ferry path highlight the modern logistical challenges of island life. Smaller features like the Useppa Oyster Bar and Old Tom Bayou provide specific points of reference for those tracing the local ecology and waterfront history.
